Pros:Clears pimples overnight, no burning or irritation. I used to have a nose full of blackheads and now I don't have one.
Cons:Not one, except I was given a bunch of sample Duac from a friend who lives in CA and when I run out I'm not sure what to do.
Bottom Line:As soon as I started using Duac my skin cleared up, I no longer wake up dreading what I might see i the mirror. As long as I use it no new pimples emerge. I owe so much to this stuff...I have the skin I've always dreamed of.

Pros:I starts to work very quickly. Within 2 to 3 days, I could see a difference with using it twice daily, but after 6-7 days it was even better. Smooth skin and no pimples.
Cons:Doesn't help lighten dark marks, but it does reduce your pores and rapaidly heals pimples and prevents them so this is NOT REALLY a con.
Bottom Line:I would definately recommend this to acne pron individuals who have tried other products or not. This is a gentle acne treatment with immediate results. AWESOME STUFF!!!!!!
Recommended:Yes
Usage:Beauty has used this item for a few weeks.

Pros:Works really fast.
Doesn't dry out my skin the way Retin-A-Micro did.
I only use it once a day, before bed.
Cons:None so far.
Bottom Line:I used Retin-A-Micro for about three months, and it improved my skin a little, but made it red and almost constantly peeling, which did not go away until two weeks after I stopped using it.
So, my dermatologist put me on Duac, and I used it for 2 months, until it expired. It made my skin nearly perfect.
I stopped using it when the summer began, because I get a lot of sun and was worried Duac would make my skin too sensitive to the sun.
For about a month, my skin stayed really good. Not as good as it was while I was on the Duac, but much better than before. Unfortunately, recently I started breaking out more, so I got another tube today and am looking forward to getting my clear skin back.
For the first time in about five years, my skin isn't a big cause of stress for me! Also, it takes me much shorter to get ready in the morning since I don't have to worry about covering my acne!

Pros:Clears spots very quickly, keeping skin clear when used regularly, and has been the only product to do so.
Cons:Sometimes aggravates my eyes, making them puffy/swollen and red. I don't put it anywhere near my eyes though somehow this can still happen. Towels and some clothes have bleached patches.
Bottom Line:Duac works! I've had mild to sever acne since 2001 and now I'm approaching 30 I've finally found a product that works that doesn't make me sick or emotionally unbalanced. I've had roaccutane twice, used dianette so many times I can't remember and this is the first product to consistently work, though it does dry out my skin sometimes. When first using it burned my skin so that it was red and scaly, but I was then advised to slowly build up my tolerance to it, starting with half an hour and very gradually increasing the time. My skin now tolerates it over night though when it starts to get too dry I'll use the product less often.

Pros:It began to clear my skin pretty quickly and didnt cause dry skin.
Cons:I cant really think of any cons.
Bottom Line:I use other products as well such as the apricot scrub to remove any sort of dead skin and I also use Neutrogena face wash as well. I wash my face one a day with the apricot scrub and I wash my face three times a week with my Neutrogena face wash. I also use Clearasil wipes and makeup remover cloths as well. I use a wide variety of products and my skin is finally clear. Duac definatly did it. I had been using all of the combined products above and I didnt have the clear skin that I wanted. Now I do. :)
